I went to check out a new quilt store and as soon as I saw this line of April Cornell fabric I was in love. :0)
I used an apron I already have, as a pattern and copied the design from a vintage apron I remember seeing a long time ago.
All finished...
I covered each seam with either rick-rack or tiny daisy trim.
Well, guess what? I ended up with enough fabric for two aprons so I thought I would have a giveaway for the other one!!
If you'd like to be entered into the drawing this coming Thursday at noon (central time), then let me know in the comments! I am opening up the "anonymous" comment option too so be sure to leave your name!

But I sure would love it if 'luck' found me!
Regardless-you did a LOVELY job on your apron. I love the varying widths of yellow. The attention to small details make it extraordinary. My fabric fabric is the pale blue and yellow with roses. Too pretty!
Lovely job Kelli!

ReplyDeleteHis,
Mrs. U
Please enter me too. I love aprons, and am so jealous of people who sew well. Mine all turn out poorly.
ReplyDeleteHi Kelli! I would love to be entered in the drawing for the apron. All of my aprons are full, the ones with a bib and a skirt, and those get kinda toasty in the summer months here in MN. I can't stand to have that strap on my neck on a hot summer afternoon while making supper. So I usually just wear mine with the bib dangling in front. What a romantic sight for hubby to come home to, poor guy! Anyway, I'd love to make one like you did, but my hands are so full now getting to know our new little baby we just adopted that I don't have much time for sewing projects. If I don't win your lovely apron, I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for one this style at my favorite thrift store! Hugs from Kelly in MN
ReplyDeleteI love your aprons!
ReplyDeleteYou did a beautiful job. April Cornell's fabrics are so pretty.
Kelli, I love that fabric and you did a great job on the apron. Please don't just put my name in but draw it out on Thursday! lol
